'''Diacetyl''' ({{IPAc-en|d|aɪ|j|ə|'|s|iː|t|ə|l}} {{respell|dy|yuh|SEE|tuhl}}; ] systematic name: '''butanedione''' or '''butane-2,3-dione''') is an ] with the chemical formula (CH<sub>3</sub>CO)<sub>2</sub>. It is a yellow liquid with an intensely buttery flavor. It is a ] ] (two ] groups, side-by-side). Diacetyl occurs naturally in alcoholic beverages and some cheeses and is added as a ] to some foods to impart its buttery flavor. Chronic inhalation exposure to diacetyl fumes is a causative agent of the lung disease ], commonly known as "]". |
|
|
|
|
|
==Chemical structure== |
|
|
A distinctive feature of diacetyl (and other vicinal diketones) is the long C–C bond linking the carbonyl centers. This bond distance is about 1.54 Å, compared to 1.45 Å for the corresponding C–C bond in ]. The elongation is attributed to repulsion between the polarized carbonyl carbon centers.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Eriks K, Hayden TD, Yang SH, Chan IY | title = Crystal and molecular structure of biacetyl (2,3-butanedione), (H<sub>3</sub>CCO)<sub>2</sub>, at −12 and −100 °C | journal = ] | date = 1983 | volume = 105 | issue = 12 | pages = 3940–3942 | doi = 10.1021/ja00350a032}}</ref> |

|
|
|
|
==Occurrence and biosynthesis== |
|
|
Diacetyl arises naturally as a byproduct of ]. In some fermentative bacteria, it is formed via the ]-mediated condensation of ] and ].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Speckman RA, Collins EB | title = Diacetyl Biosynthesis in ''Streptococcus diacetilactis'' and ''Leuconostoc citrovorum'' | journal = Journal of Bacteriology | volume = 95 | issue = 1 | pages = 174–80 | date = January 1968 | pmid = 5636815 | pmc = 251989 | doi = 10.1128/JB.95.1.174-180.1968 }}</ref> Sour (cultured) cream, cultured buttermilk, and cultured butter are produced by inoculating pasteurized cream or milk with a lactic starter culture, churning (agitating) and holding the milk until a desired pH drop (or increase in acidity) is attained. Cultured cream, cultured butter, and cultured buttermilk owe their tart flavour to lactic acid bacteria and their buttery aroma and taste to diacetyl. ] can be converted to ] to make diacetyl.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://scottlab.com/managing-diacetyl-production-during-malolactic-fermentation | title=Scott Labs | Managing Diacetyl Production During MLF | access-date=2022-07-11 | archive-date=2022-07-05 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220705130934/https://scottlab.com/managing-diacetyl-production-during-malolactic-fermentation | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|title=Modern Food Microbiology|url=https://archive.org/details/modernfoodmicrob00jayj_401|url-access=limited|last=Jay|first=James M|date=2000|publisher=Aspen Publishers|isbn=978-0834216716|location=Gaithersburg, Md|pages=|language=en|oclc = 42692251}}</ref> |

==Applications== |
|
|
===In food products=== |
|
|
Diacetyl and ] are two compounds that give ] its characteristic taste. Because of this, manufacturers of ], ]s or similar oil-based products typically add diacetyl and acetoin (along with ] for the yellow color) to make the final product butter-flavored, because it would otherwise be relatively tasteless.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Pavia DL | title = Introduction to Organic Laboratory Techniques | year = 2006 | publisher = Cengage Learning | edition = 4th | isbn = 978-0-495-28069-9 }}</ref> |

===In alcoholic beverages=== |
|
|
|
|
|
In some styles of beer (e.g. in many beer styles produced in the United Kingdom, such as stouts, English bitters, and Scottish ales), the presence of diacetyl can be acceptable or desirable at low or, in some cases, moderate levels. In other styles, its presence is considered a flaw or undesirable.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Janson|first1=Lee|name-list-style=vanc|title=Brew Chem 101|date=1996|publisher=Storey Books|isbn=978-0-88266-940-3|pages=|url=https://archive.org/details/brewchem1010000jans/page/64}}</ref> |

|
|
Diacetyl is produced during fermentation as a byproduct of ] synthesis, when yeast produces ], which escapes the cell and is spontaneously ] into diacetyl. The yeast then absorbs the diacetyl, and reduces the ] groups to form ] and 2,3-butanediol.{{Cn|date=January 2021}} |
|
|
|
|
|
Beer sometimes undergoes a "diacetyl rest", in which its temperature is raised slightly for two or three days after fermentation is complete, to allow the yeast to absorb the diacetyl it produced earlier in the fermentation cycle. The makers of some wines, such as ], deliberately promote the production of diacetyl because of the feel and flavor it imparts.<ref>{{cite web|title=Diacetyl|url=http://www.ecmdb.ca/compounds/ECMDB21446|work=E. coli Metabolome Database|publisher=ECMDB|access-date=20 October 2013|archive-date=20 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020215012/http://www.ecmdb.ca/compounds/ECMDB21446|url-status=live}}</ref> Diacetyl is present in some chardonnays known as "butter bombs", although there is a trend back toward the more traditional French styles.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.sonomacutrer.com/content/trends-chardonnay|title = Trends in Chardonnay|access-date = December 2, 2015|website = Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards}} {{Dead link|date=March 2018}}</ref> |
